Lib Dem MPs Know nothing about politics, claims Cable

Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, claims that most Lib Dem MPs know nothing about politics. Speaking to a select group of teachers Mr Cable said that, ‘Most Lib Dem MPs enter parliament straight from university or Eton. All they know about is passing exams and fagging. They enter school, suck up to older boys called Flashman or Cameron, then become MPs. The trouble is that although they know how to fiddle expenses, judge stereotypes and make crass remarks about things they have no knowledge about when they enter politics, they know bugger all else. Historically this has never been an issue for Lib Dems as the concept of political influence has been non-existent, but now that they are being used to do the Tory’s dirty work it can be a real problem.’
